Cells & Cell Processes
Cellular Respiration Explorer
Explore how glucose and oxygen are converted into ATP inside cells using interactive Cell, Mitochondrion and Energy Production views. Investigate the roles of…
Photosynthesis Explorer
Explore how light, carbon dioxide, water and temperature affect photosynthesis, and trace the inputs and outputs through a leaf and chloroplast.
Photosynthesis Guided Investigation
Complete a structured investigation using leaf and chloroplast views to identify photosynthesis inputs and outputs, locate key processes, and test light, carbon dioxide,…
Ecology & Ecosystems
Biodiversity Data Investigation
Investigate whether a species has declined, expanded or remained relatively stable using real distribution records, authoritative population evidence and assessed range…
Biodiversity Species Explorer
Explore real Australian species occurrence data to investigate geographic distribution, changes through time, environmental associations and sampling limitations.…
Food Web Explorer
Explore real, location-specific food webs, build food chains, predict how a change ripples through a web, and test the model against observations from a real event (the…
Monarch Migration & Ecosystems Explorer
Use real monarch observations and long-term monitoring data to investigate seasonal migration, population change, and relationships between biotic and abiotic factors.
Sea Turtle Migration & Survival
Investigate real satellite-tracking data from green sea turtles to explore migration, habitat use and marine conservation. Follow individual turtles on an interactive…
Evolution
Adaptation and Selection Pressure Explorer
Use the Education Universe 3D Earth to explore real-world examples of natural selection and investigate how environmental pressures change inherited trait frequencies…
Hominin Skull Comparison Explorer
Compare authentic 3D hominin skull models side by side or as transparent overlays. Examine braincase shape, brow ridges, facial projection, jaws and chewing adaptations,…
Human Evolution Explorer
Explore human evolution as a branching process rather than a simple linear sequence. Investigate major hominin groups, compare species that coexisted, and use an…
Natural Selection Explorer
Explore how inherited variation, environmental selection, survival and reproduction change phenotype and allele frequencies across generations.
Palaeontology: Windows into Ancient Life
Explore famous fossil sites — from Lagerstätten to bonebeds and trackways — and investigate how preservation shapes what we can learn about life through deep time.
Stromatolites: Evidence of Early Life
Explore living and fossil stromatolite locations, compare the evidence for early life, and investigate how biosignatures inform the search for life beyond Earth.
Genetics & Inheritance
DNA Structure Challenge
Use an interactive DNA model to solve challenges involving base pairing, strand direction, genes and sequence composition.
Genetics Cross Lab — Fruit Fly
Design two parent fruit flies across four real, documented Drosophila traits, breed them, and analyse the resulting phenotype ratios with a built-in chi-square…
Genetics Cross Lab — Fruit Fly
Design two parent fruit flies across four real, documented Drosophila traits, breed them, and analyse the resulting phenotype ratios with a built-in chi-square…
Inheritance Explorer
Investigate how alleles separate during meiosis, combine during fertilisation and produce predictable genotype and phenotype ratios using Punnett squares and simulated…
Mitosis & Meiosis 2.5D Explorer
Compare mitosis and meiosis side by side to see how chromosomes separate, chromosome number changes and genetic variation is produced.
Mutation & Protein Outcome Explorer
Compare original and mutated DNA to see how substitutions, insertions and deletions alter codons, amino acids and protein outcomes.
Haematology & Clinical Science
Anaemia Investigation Pathway
Freely explore the anaemia investigation decision tree — MCV, reticulocytes, iron studies, B12 and folate, haemolysis markers and blood film — selecting any test in any…
Anaemia Investigation Pathway (Challenge)
A blind self-assessment of the anaemia investigation algorithm. The mechanism and diagnosis stay hidden until submission, results give no live correctness signal, and…
Anaemia Investigation Pathway (Guided)
A scaffolded walkthrough of the anaemia investigation algorithm: classify by MCV, assess marrow response, then unlock the targeted follow-up test for the case, with the…
Coagulation Screen Interpreter
Freely explore the coagulation investigation decision tree — platelet count from the FBC and an ordered PT/APTT screen branch into mixing studies, factor assays,…
Defibrillator & Cardioversion Trainer
Take the role of the clinician running a cardiac arrest or unstable arrhythmia. Recognize the rhythm on the monitor, decide whether it calls for unsynchronized…
Full Blood Count Interpreter
Interpret full blood count patterns by comparing haemoglobin, red cell indices, white cell differential and platelet results across common foundational haematology…
Haematology Case Study
Work a haematology case end to end: decide what to order from the presentation, triage the full blood count, work a targeted investigation pathway, commit to a diagnosis…
Haematology Morphology Challenge
A randomised challenge covering red cell morphology recognition: finding specific cell types within a field, identifying a field's overall pattern, and reasoning about…
Haematology Morphology Explorer
A procedural blood film explorer covering red cell morphology recognition — microcytes, macrocytes, hypochromia, spherocytes, target cells, schistocytes, sickle cells…
